Projects Possible

First of all let me say that I am NOT an expert when it comes to wine.   I know what I like and I drink what I buy.  I am not really a collector, and I don’t buy wines with the intention of selling them at a later time for a profit.  So why would I need software to keep track of the wine that is in my wine cellar?  I guess the real answer to that question is…I don’t, but I do.

You will notice a new page here on the blog called Wine Cellar.  I am using a new WordPress plugin called wineX that will display the current status of my wine cellar as found on CellarTracker. 

CellarTracker is a free web service that will allow you to keep track of wine that you own or are in the process of purchasing.   The user interface is relatively simple and I find it to be quite easy to add new wine and keep track of the wine that is no longer in my cellars.   When drinking a bottle of wine, CellarTracker also allows you to enter tasting notes that are visible to CellarTracker community.  

If wine interests you at all, I would encourage you to take a peek at the Wine Cellar page here on the blog.  Click on the wine names on that page and you can see additional information about the wine including pictures of the labels or bottles in many cases.  Click on the community score next to the wine and you will get the tasting notes from the Cellar Tracker users that have enjoyed (or not so much) that particular wine.

I currently only have my wine cellar at the lake house loaded into Cellar Tracker.   I hope to get all of my wine loaded soon.

In the meantime I would enjoy hearing your recommendations for wines that I should consider.   I am a Shiraz and Pinot fan!
